Forecast: Cloudy, mild with some afternoon clearing; temps turn up this week


The recent pattern of dreary spring weather will hang on through most of Monday for Cinco de Mayo around Chicagoland.

But things will turn for the better this week.

Light rain and drizzle continues early Monday around the area, with overcast skies. The clouds may break up a little by the late-day hours, with high temperatures around 60 inland. Northeast winds off Lake Michigan, however, will keep it cooler at the lakefront.

An isolated shower chance remains in the forecast through Monday night into early Tuesday morning, but then the sun comes back Tuesday, with temps warming to around 70 inland.

That type of warming trend looks to play out this week, with the exception of a mid-week dip. The early forecast for Mother’s Day weekend then shows pleasant spring weather, with high temps in the low 70s.
